It’s an equal life they now share

He will take no nonsense from her
It's an equal life they now share
Both do the dishes

He will take no nonsense from her
It's an equal life they now share
Both do the dishes
And both gut fishes,

He will take no nonsense from her
It's an equal life they now share
Both do the dishes
And both gut fishes,
So both the trousers they do wear

And she always makes sure he's well fed
